Genes affected
PFKM (HGNC:8877): (phosphofructokinase, muscle) Three phosphofructokinase isozymes exist in humans: muscle, liver and platelet. These isozymes function as subunits of the mammalian tetramer phosphofructokinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. Tetramer composition varies depending on tissue type. This gene encodes the muscle-type isozyme. Mutations in this gene have been associated with glycogen storage disease type VII, also known as Tarui disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
MIR6505 (HGNC:50104): (microRNA 6505) microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Variant summary: PFKM c.238-3A>G alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: three predict the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site, and four predict the variant creates a 3' acceptor site 2 nucleotides upstream, potentially leading to a frameshift. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing, leading to an insertion of two nucleotides, which is predicted to result in a frameshift and a premature termination codon (p.G80fs4X; Musumeci_2012), which confirms the computational predictions. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 242486 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.238-3A>G, has been reported in the literature in at least one homozygous individual affected with Glycogen Storage Disease, Type VII (Musumeci_2012). Authors of this study also reported an enzymatic activity ~1% of normal, in muscle biopsy sample taken from the homozygous patient (Musumeci_2012). One ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) has cited the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change falls in intron 4 of the PFKM gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PFKM protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with glycogen storage disease type VII (PMID: 22133655). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2434666). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in AG insertion, predicting a frameshift and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 22133655). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
